(PLEASE HELP!) (IM GIVING GOOD POINTS!)

Jackson, Monica, and Franklin are siblings. Monica's age is 12 of Jackson's age, and Franklin's age is 23 of Jackson's age. The sum of all of their ages is 36.
Which equation represents the ages, based on Jackson's age, j?

36j+12j+23j=j36 j plus 1 half j plus 2 thirds j is equal to j

j+12j+23j=36j plus 1 half j plus 2 thirds j is equal to 36

12j+23j=361 half j plus 2 thirds j is equal to 36

j+2j+23j=36

Answer 1

• D. j + 12j + 23j = 36

Explanation:

Given:

• Jackson's age is j
• Monica's age is 12 of Jackson's age ⇒ Monica = 12j
• Franklin's age is 23 of Jackson's age ⇒ Franklin = 23j

Sum of all three is 36, the equation is below:

• j + 12j + 23j = 36

Correct choice is D
